Why this masterpiece was never ported to other systems boggles my mind to this day. Apidya is a 1992 shoot 'em up developed by Kaiko for the Amiga - and that's it, no port for any other system. You play as Ikuro, a warrior who magically transforms into a... powerful bee after his wife Yuri is poisoned by the evil black magic lord Hexaä. Whoever came up with the idea to make the hero a bee... well, it certainly was unique! You fly insect-themed stages, from gardens and ponds to surreal sewers, you blast swarms (pardon the pun) of enemies, collect power-ups, and face bosses while seeking an antidote. The graphics were an absolute delight, with massive sprites and vibrant colors, and the music/sound effects (Chris Huelsbeck showing his skill) were simply brilliant. I still think Apidya stands out as one of the Amiga's most original and best shooters. Which brings me again to the question - how was this never ported elsewhere?show more

Who remembers this classic shooter from 35 years ago? SWIV (or "Silkworm IV" as called by some) from 1991. Graphics and sound effects were excellent for its time. But what I liked the most was that you could toggle through the power ups by shooting at them when they dropped. It added some extra fun and complexity, it allowed you to really improve (or mess up!) your weapons path. The game was considered a spiritual successor to Tecmo's arcade game Silkworm from 1989. The game's heritage is evident from the game design whereby one player pilots a helicopter, and the other an armoured Jeep. SWIV is not an official sequel, as noted by ex-Sales Curve producer Dan Marchant: "SWIV wasn't really a sequel to Silkworm, but it was certainly inspired by it and several other shoot-'em-ups that we had played and loved." If you listen closely to the sound effects, you will definitely hear a resemblance to "Silkworm." Sometimes I would just let the intro run endlessly - the music was simply too good!

Any fans of this masterpiece? One of the few games I managed to finish (in 2 player mode with my brother) without using unlimited lives: Silkworm It's a classic horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up developed and published by Tecmo for arcades in 1988. You control either a heli (player 1) or a jeep (player 2) as they blast through enemy territory. And "blast" in the very sense of the word - great sound effects, epic explosions, and non-stop action. The helicopter offers free movement in the air, while the jeep drives on the ground, can jump over obstacles like mines, and has a turret that rotates to shoot in a 180 degree angle. Originally an arcade game, it was later ported to home computers like the Amiga (as in the video) and consoles. To me still one of the best games ever for the Amiga, and still playing it these days when my brother comes for a visit.

Happy birthday, Bubble Bobble! It was released exactly 40 years ago today, on June 16, 1986. The arcade version was absolutely brilliant, being one of the first games to have a coop-multiplayer option. It was also one of the the most ported arcade games in history, with over 20 ports to home computers and consoles, including even the legendary TI-84 Plus (primarily a calculator). The port that got the highest praise and came closest to the original arcade experience was the C64 version. Excellent graphics, one of the most recognizable tunes , and great gameplay make Bubble Bobble a timeless classic. My brother and I played the crap out of this one back in the day, and we still load it up on my old C64 when he comes for a visit. It's like riding a bike, you never forget how to play Bubble Bobble.

German game studios didn’t have massive distribution power or marketing budgets. Globally, they were probably ranked fifth (assuming the US, Japan, the UK and France were ahead). Still, some left a lasting mark, especially in the 80s and 90s. One such studio was Rainbow Arts, which created classics including the Turrican series. Turrican II (1991) was an absolute masterpiece—not surprising given the team: Manfred Trenz, Andreas Escher and, of course, Chris Hülsbeck, all part of the crème de la crème of German gaming history. If you had an Amiga, you knew who Chris Hülsbeck was. And what Andreas Escher conjured up in terms of graphics was simply art. To this day, I consider the Turrican series the best shoot ’em up on the Amiga. The graphics, music, massive levels, power-ups and gameplay were all top-notch. Sometimes I would just start the game and let the intro run non-stop.

Sean Astin reveals he was paid only $75,000 per movie for Lord of the Rings and was forced to sell his house right after making the trilogy "I didn't get paid very well for Lord of the Rings" "I had to sell my house afterwards... we bought a house up in the hills with a view, and the business manager said to me, 'You have to make 250 grand a year based on how you spend your money'" "Then I got offered Lord of the Rings, and it was an offer for 250,000 for a year and a half" "And I was like, 'Wait a minute, my pen signed this contract which obligated me to 250 a year, and I'm gonna sign this contract which will make it so that I cannot satisfy that other thing'" "So it was 75 grand a movie... 75 grand a movie was what you got" "And how about residuals for that?

"School was one of the greatest scams ever created." 🎯 "It teaches you how to memorise, not how to think. It teaches you how to follow instructions, not how to lead... and it was designed to mass produce followers, not thinkers." "2020 was a wake-up call. People obeyed without question because they were trained to, and the system worked exactly as it was intended to. You weren't taught to question, you were taught to comply." "Education is powerful, but schooling—that's something else. One frees your mind, the other one cages it. Stay in a box, do what you're told, don't question authority." "I don't live in a box, and I'm teaching my children not to either, because thinking for yourself is one of the most liberating things that you can do in a world that wants you compliant and dependent."

Some games had the rare quality of being entirely unique, introducing concepts that had never been done before. These days, most games are variations of ideas that have existed for a long time. One of those unique-concept games that has stuck with me over the years is Marble Madness. I was instantly hooked the first time I played it. Although I wasn’t very good, the urge to try again (and again) was incredibly strong. It had an almost mesmerizing quality. The graphics - for 1984 - were impressive, as were the music and sound effects, which added to the “this feels very different” vibe. Most fascinating, though, were the physics: the marble reacting to slippery surfaces, bumping over ramps, and being knocked aside by the “evil marble.” It demanded real skill and patience to navigate the levels. The unique gameplay also makes it timeless in my opinion. Marble Madness looked great over 40 years ago, and will still look and play great 40 years from now. The only downside was its relative shortness with only 6 levels. Mark Cerny originally wanted to create more but the memory limitations were the main reason for the small number of levels.

Some games from the 80s are hardwired into my brain. I hear two seconds of their soundtrack and I’m right there again. I see a screenshot and it instantly teleports me back. One of those is The Last Ninja, developed by System 3 and published in 1987. I was simply blown away by the graphics (isometric on the C64 with such an amazing level of detail - simply gorgeous) and mesmerized by the kickass sound. What Ben Daglish and Anthony Lees conjured up musically will forever be part of gaming history - an absolute iconic masterpiece. The game itself was pretty straightforward: a mix of action-adventure and a bit of puzzle-solving, nothing groundbreaking. But that didn’t matter, because very few games made you feel so immersed the way The Last Ninja did. Though a single-player game, it was often our choice when my friends and I met up after school to play, taking turns and seeing how far we could get together as a team. When you weren’t playing, you could just watch (and listen!), and it was an absolute joy. Which 80s game had a similar effect on you? One that totally blew you away.

wait this show is kind of a sleeper hit of last season what the fuck did they just revealed in the last episode WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE VILLAIN WAS ANOTHER ISEKAI PERSON WHO CAN VIEW AND GAIN SKILLS THIS WHOLE TIME TOO??? in any other show this antagonist would just be some overpowered protagonist but in this one it seems like they've become consumed by the power fantasy and lost their humanity. MC and villain were cut from the same cloth but one was an evil dragon who wanted to do good and decided to be a hero despite the circumstances for the people around him while the other is an evil slime who deceived and stole skills to make themselves stronger for themselves.

Michael Powell on how the iconic climax in "Black Narcissus" (1947) was filmed: "In 'Black Narcissus' (1947), I started out almost as a documentary director and ended up as a producer of opera, even though the excerpt from the opera was only about twelve minutes long. Never mind! It was opera in the sense that music, emotion, image and voices all blended together into a new and splendid whole. By music, of course, I mean not only sounds produced by musical instruments, but the human voice itself. Although neither Deborah nor Joseph nor Sister Ruth used their voices for anything but screams, music dictated their movements and revealed their thoughts and intentions. The sequence started with little Joseph- he was certainly one of the great successes of the film- bringing a cup of tea to Sister Clodagh as the colours of dawn spread over the snows of the Himalayas, and ends with Sister Ruth falling to her death. It was planned step by step, bar by bar, by Brian and myself. I wanted to get the maximum of suspense out of the cat-and-mouse play between the two women and we succeeded. The crew were amazed when Brian and I appeared with stopwatches and exact timings when we started to shoot the sequence. I insisted on rehearsing and shooting to a piano track and consulting Brian with a musical score in my hand over each set-up. But it worked! It worked! I have never enjoyed myself so much in my life. For the first time I felt I had control of the film with the authority of the music. It was astonishing to everyone, but particularly, of course, to the camera crew that we were able to compress or speed up the movement of the action just by saying: "No, that wasn't fast enough. We've only got seven seconds for I that bit of action." I was so happy! I swore that this was the only way to make films; and so, of course it is, if they are silent films or musical films. But for me, film-making was never the same after this experience, and it was to lead me and my collaborators into tribulations as well as triumph." ("A Life in Movies", Michael Powell, 1986) P.S: On this day, 79 years ago, "Black Narcissus" (1947) premiered in London, UK.

Yorgos Lanthimos on how he got the inspiration to make "Dogtooth" (2009): "Interviewer: What made you want to do a movie about this family? Lanthimos: I think the idea came from watching friends that had recently gotten married or had children. I’ve never had children or been married and I was fooling around with them, asking, ‘Are you sure? Is this going to work? Is this a good idea? Can’t you see all these families falling apart?’ And they were getting very defensive and scared just by me making these jokes. If they got so irritated by the idea of this thing falling apart, what would someone do, in an extreme situation, to keep their family together? Interviewer: And the family unit can be a useful placeholder for a lot of different systems. There was one member of the audience who was convinced the movie was a metaphor for welfare states and modern Europe… Lanthimos: The whole idea started with the family and we realized later that it could be seen as whatever else. It could work as an allegory, which is a word I don’t really like; I never think that way. It started off with, ‘What’s the future of the family going to be?’ How can you narrow people’s minds by educating them—telling them, ‘this is the right thing, this is the wrong thing’? When we wrote the script and started working on the film it was obvious that, OK, this works in any system, society, relationship, country. It’s a microcosm." (Yorgos Lanthimos's interview with Michael Zelenko, Rumpus, 2010) Watch Arturo Ripstein's "The Castle of Purity" (1973) & then you will really know from where he got the idea to make the movie. P.S: On this day, 17 years ago, "Dogtooth" (2009) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

40 years ago today, Ace of Aces was released. It's probably a bit too old for some of the people who follow my account but it was certainly way ahead of its time back in 1986. Superb graphics, excellent sound effects and a story/gameplay that felt highly immersive - those are the things that I remember when first playing this as a kid. Not an easy game by any means but it got you hooked fast. I am not enough of a history buff to know whether the missions were somewhat realistic but I would like to believe so. The mission briefings and the "interactive" map during the game added to that feeling of authenticity. We used to turn up the volume for this one, especially for the intro and cutscene when the mission starts and the black and white picture slide show started, with the overlapping sound effects at the 0:30 mark - it still fascinates me to this day. That cutscene uses a total of six colours and it still looks absolutely incredible.

I am running out of words to describe how evil this is because it is actually heartbreaking that a woman who has children could be this callous and so cruel as to make money mocking the death of a man whose never coming home to his children again. I’m going to say this again, if you are not courageous enough to call this out, you are no different. This is a new level of evil and the people who stand by silently as this happens never ever cared about Charlie and I would argue lack any and all humanity.

I’m trying to compute the last couple days and honestly I’m absolutely fucking shattered. You have been my North Star for everything for as long as I can remember from when I was misunderstood as a child to the way people thought I was just a little “too much” or “strange” in my life and career. I owe so much to you, your wife and your family - you all gave me a road to run down and supported me when people would turn their nose up. You loved life so much and you adored music. It was your smile man. You taught me it was beautiful to be out of the box. I promise you with all my heart I will try my best and make it my life’s journey to keep the sprit that you started and what you have taught me alive. I will give it my best shot. To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life’s greatest honour and I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life. You’re my hero in every regard. I hope you’re up there avin a drink with Randy. For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world. I love you Ozzy.

I owe so much to you, your wife and your family - you all gave me a road to run down and supported me when people would turn their nose up. You loved life so much and you adored music. It was your smile man. You taught me it was beautiful to be out of the box. I promise you with all my heart I will try my best and make it my life’s journey to keep the sprit that you started and what you have taught me alive. I will give it my best shot. To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life’s greatest honour and I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life. You’re my hero in every regard. I hope you’re up there avin a drink with Randy. For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world. I love you Ozzy.

Space Manbow for the MSX2 (Konami/1989). Considered one of the absolute greatest and most technically impressive shoot-'em-ups for the MSX2 computer. Built from the ground up for the hardware, it pushes the system to its limits and also has a stellar SCC/chip soundtrack. Originally a Japan-exclusive release, it was later digitally ported for the Wii Virtual Console in 2009 and is available on mobile platforms and Project EGG, as well as a minigame (first level) inside Ganbare Goemon DS (2005).

I saw one of the officials and politely asked him why Africans and flights to the continent were singled out to leave from a different building, and this was his response. Mind you, I wasn’t coming from the U.S. like he assumed. Adah was though. Still, it made no sense.

Rainbow Islands (Taito, 1987) originally developed for arcades and later ported to a gazillion systems. How many colours would you you like? -- YES! Following the events of Bubble Bobble, Bubby and Bobby set out to defeat the "Dark Shadow" and rescue the Rainbow Islands. Everythinhg about this game is adorable, the over the top and super vibrant colours, the ever so cute soundtrack, the fact that you "kill" enemies with a rainbow (aww...), the brilliant gameplay, and the sheer joy to pick up all the bonuses and drops for extra points. The Amiga and Atari ST version were done by Graftgold (Andrew Braybrook) in perfect fashion. In all the magazines that I read and that you can still look up today, Rainbow Islands consistently gets a 90%+ score, excellent reviews and quotes like "highly addictive" and "one of the best games ever made". I couldn't agree more.

One of the coolest experiences in my life was being able to voice EVERY Kapu Kapu character in Chu Chu Rocket! Universe, a game now strangely considered lost media. Chu Chu Rocket! was one of my absolute favorite games growing up, I couldn't believe I had this opportunity. On top of that, it was such a joy to work again with (absolute genius) Antony Lavelle. We were frequent collaborators in the Newgrounds.com days, voicing for his brilliant game Help the Hero, as well as a small part in his beloved SHIFT series. I thought this might be a stuffy experience since this was such a big property for a huge brand, but it was the exact opposite. Antony and I were laughing the entire time recording this, I believe you can even hear me start to crack up at the end of certain Chef Kapu lines (because, admittedly, my French accent is NOT GOOD) When the job is to do so many characters and be very cartoony, it's all about texture and variety for me. I tried to give every character not just a unique personality, but a unique sound quality. I didn't want any character to sound like any other character. For example, King Kapu was mostly back of the throat, Kap'n Kapu was all tight nasal, and Sargeant Kapu was very breathy.
